Chapter 405: Chapter 229: Finally Stood Up! _2

At Qin Ming’s words, surprise and astonishment crossed Shui Miao’s face.

Shui Miao was very curious about what Fang Mu had done in Lu City that had led Qin Ming to advise him so urgently.

If Fang Mu really had any bad habits that threatened his personal health or even his lifespan, Shui Miao would need to admonish him and try to keep him from going astray.

Shui Miao, through their recent interactions, not only considered Fang Mu as Qixing’s disciple, but also as a junior he valued greatly.

Some bad habits can be curbed before they fully take root.

Once they are ingrained, it is extremely difficult to reverse them.

If Golden Bull hadn’t been consumed by lust in his youth and indulged himself for nearly a hundred years, he wouldn’t have depleted his lifespan by now.

At least he could have lived for another seventy to eighty years without any issues!

Qixing was currently in seclusion, most likely unable to care for his disciple.

To elevate a Grandmaster Creator’s level, one must go all out. At this time, no matter how much Qixing doted on Fang Mu, he wouldn’t be distracted by Fang Mu’s affairs.

If Shui Miao could pull Fang Mu back from the brink, when Qixing emerged from seclusion, it would be as if he owed Shui Miao a favor.

After savouring the delicacies of Lu City, Fang Mu didn’t return to his residence at Si Ning Mansion until the break of dawn.

As She Wan spent the whole time with Fang Mu, she didn’t have the chance to call her father.

In She Wan’s opinion, making a call to her father while she was with Fang Mu seemed like dereliction of duty.

Upon returning to her room, facing the dawn, She Wan called She Ruan right away.

She Wan was well aware that, since she had agreed to ask Fang Mu’s intention last night, her father must have been waiting anxiously for her information and could barely rest.

Moreover, even if her father had fallen asleep, his heart would still be on edge in his dreams.

Rather than keeping her father on tenterhooks, she decided to ring him so that he could relax and sleep well.

Her father could thus plan ahead to bring her grandfather to meet Fang Mu in the afternoon.

As She Wan expected, She Ruan, indeed, hadn’t slept all night.

If Fang Mu had come to Lu City alone, not many people would have recognised him.

But She Wan was always by Fang Mu’s side.

She Wan was like a beacon that drew attention from others.

Once her brother, She Long, had broken the news of Fang Mu and She Wan’s visit to Lu City, her eldest brother and the other clans of Lu City must also have known.

Her eldest brother was the first to confront her at dinner, sarcastically remarking:

“How come Xiao Wan doesn’t come home to see Grandpa after returning to Lu City?”

“I heard that Xiao Wan came with Qixing Grandmaster’s disciple, Fang Mu. Could Xiao Wan possibly ask Fang Mu to help treat our father?”

She Ruan loathed the most when She Rui stumbled him with a smile under the guise of brotherly manners.

What annoyed her more was that she couldn’t refute the words of She Rui.

If She Rui had merely suggested She Wan invite Fang Mu to visit the She Family, she could have refused with any excuse.

A Grandmaster Creator’s disciple would certainly have important matters to attend to while in Lu City, how could they have spare time to wander about!

But She Rui had tied it up with their grandfather’s load on his mind, as if refusing it would seem as though she didn’t want their grandfather to unburden himself and restore his wounded Guardian Beast source.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of their grandfather, She Ruan had no choice but to let She Wan try, placing all her hope on She Wan.

Just by observing how high-profile the Yi Family was recently, one could tell that anyone related to a Grandmaster Creator couldn’t avoid high profile.

Since the Yi Family produced a Grandmaster Creator, over half of the Federation’s forces personally sent direct descendants bearing generous gifts to pay a visit.

She Rui worked hard to wrestle this opportunity from her, only to fail to even see Master Yi Han’s face.

Their grandpa had also wanted to seek help from the Yi Family.

She Rui could not accomplish the task, and now, he sought to trap her in the same way.

If Fang Mu harboured ill feelings towards She Wan due to the request from the She Family, she would then lose her pillar of support.

What She Rui really cared about was the position of the Family Head.

Even if the current relationship with Fang Mu was part of the She Family’s resources, as long as it hindered She Rui from his competition for the Family Head, She Rui would spare no effort to destroy it.

She Rui was extremely cunning and malicious, but unfortunately, her father and other members of the She Family couldn’t perceive it.

Nor could she air this out openly.

Doing so might not only fail to impact She Rui, but might also lead to her being perceived as coveting the Family Head position and using smear campaigns against She Rui to compete maliciously.

If it was only the family piling pressure on She Ruan, she could bear it.

Even if she failed to deliver and people in the family did start to judge her negatively, at the worst, she would simply not aim to become the She Family’s Head.

But after dinner, the Zhao Family, Wu Family, and He Family, as if pre-arranged, came to pay a visit simultaneously.

Normally, when one faction knew that the others were planning to visit their target, they would choose different timings.

But the Zhao, Wu, and He families did not do so, and it was clear that the three families very possibly had the same purpose in their visit.

The only thing worth mobilizing the three families at this critical juncture was to get acquainted with Fang Mu by using the She Family’s connection.
